Claude Code v2.1.251 28 Aug 2026

Project memory files that link outside the project are skipped

You'll notice

Useful2 Signal2

Memory

CLAUDE.md files whose link points outside the project are skipped rather than loaded.

CLAUDE.md

What

While walking parent directories for CLAUDE.md project memory, the loader now skips any candidate whose link resolves outside the project root, logging that it links out of the project instead of reading it.

Details

Runs unconditionally as part of the existing project-settings memory loading.
Blocks symlinks and includes that would pull content in from outside the project tree.

Evidence

links out of the project; skipped

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
